| TEXT | In reviewing the rise and progress of the hat and straw goods trade of the metropolis, no house is worthy of more extended mention than that of which Mr. P. Corbitt is the esteemed proprietor. The inception of his present business dates away back to 1860, when he established his salesrooms down town, eventually seven years ago removing to his present very eligible and central premises at No. 631 Broadway, between Houston and Bleecker Streets, and which are thirty by two hundred feet in dimensions, extending entirely through the block from Broadway to Crosby Street. Here Mr. Corbitt displays what is admittedly one of the largest, the most completely assorted and the freshest of stocks as regards style, from which buyers can make their selections in all three lines of hats, caps, and straw goods. His manufactory is very conveniently and advantageously situated in Danbury, Conn., where he gives employment to a large force of hands, and turns out a correspondingly large quantity of goods. He brings a. wide range of practical experience to bear, and gives the closest attention to the prompt filling of all orders. Everything that is new and stylish in the market is always obtainable here, as the facilities enjoyed by Mr. Corbitt are unsurpassed, resulting, coupled with his creditable energy, skill and enterprise, in the building up of one of the finest trades in his line in the country, and which extend all over the United States and Canada, requiring the services of from ten to twelve salesmen on the road, and a force of clerks, packers, porters, etc., of some twenty-five in the Broadway establishment. Mr. Corbitt was born in N.Y., long active in the commercial circles of the metropolis, and too widely known to require further comment at our hands. As a business man he is ever reliable and straightforward, exercising special care to please all patrons, and well meriting the large measure of success which has attended his well directed and honorable exertions. |
